Question : EJB Exception in WebServer

Hi, I am getting this exception when the web server is starting :

Failed to load servlet: : Naming Exception while looking up obj java:comp/env/ejb/crossStateless
    at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.StrictServletInstance.doInit(StrictServletInstance.java:99)

Any idea, what is the problem?

Thanks

Answer : EJB Exception in WebServer

The NameNotFoundException is the clue.  I bet you have a problem with your classloader / classpath.

This article "TroubleShooting: Classloader problems for WebSphere Application Server"
http://www.IBM.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21219358 does a pretty good job of helping with many/most of this kind of issue.

Take a look and see if it helps you, and let me know.
